#monsterdrink — Public Fediverse posts

This week's cocktail is a loving tribute to chain smoking, the one thing everyone agreed was super keen in the late 80's and early 90's... so without further ado let me present:

===- Luke Skywalker, FBI -===
Ingredients:
1oz each of:
🔸 Mezcal
🔸 Campari
🔸 Sweet Vermouth
🔸 Pineapple Juice
and:
🔸 Grapefruit soda (Fresca or store brand)

Pour everything except the soda into a rocks glass, stir well and add a stainless steel freezer ball (This is the guyver!). Top off with enough grapefruit soda to make it taste balanced to you.

Take a sip every time Mark Hamill has a cigarette while watching "The Guyver"

Artists rendition (I just tested this, it's not worse than a normal Negroni, to me):

This week's *unofficial* cocktail:

🛟🥤🍸🕷️The Boozy Spoyduh🕷️🍸🥤🛟

This is a simple one, so simple I can't believe it never occurred to me before. Take a "Spider" (an Ice cream float in Australia and New Zealand) and add 2-4 oz of your favorite booze. That's it, that's the cocktail.

Ingredients:
==========
Ice Cream/Gelato/froyo/CocowHip/NOT Sherbet
Soda
Booze.

Warnings, do not operate heavy machinery, probably stay indoors after having it. You can probably do sherbet if you want. For a non-alcoholic version don't use booze.

So TIL the _reason_ they call it a spider in Australia/NZ is because the froth looks like spiderwebs after you add the dairy to the soda:

This weeks cocktail is going to be a little out there but it's not that bad actually, once you get used to its peculiarities...

Chia People
====================

Ingredients:
90ml Cucumber juice (I reccommend skinning before putting them through the juice-man, you'll see)
45ml dry gin
45ml Chartreuse (yellow) or Genepy/Strega
30 ml Chia seeds (baking or health food aisle at your HEB)
30 ml Lemon Juice

Prep time: 20 min

Steps:
----------
- Juice up some cucumber, it's not bad if you don't skin them but I found it's not as translucent as I've seen in other people's photos.
- add the Chia seeds to the juice and let sit in a mixing glass for 10-12 minutes. You'll see why.
-add the other ingredients and stir well, it will be a thick, viscous mess of stuff with seeds in it.
- Don't look too close at it.
- Put in a highball glass with ice.

Tonight's "movie" features a very vibrant and eye-catching hairdo, one you don't see every day, the ultimate* combination of bangs and a widow's peak. So in tribute I messed around with someone else's recipe and came up with the:

MPDG (Moonbase Purplehaired 'Do Gal)
==========
3/4 oz. light, floral Gin
3/4 oz. Cointreau
3/4 oz. Fresh Lemon Juice
3/4 oz. Vermouth
3/4 oz. Absinthe*
3/4 oz. Creme de Violette
Edible Glitter and maybe some pea-flower extract to help with the color

* I _HIGHLY_ recommend just subbing in more gin, unless you like Anise and becoming Mr. Hyde or whatnot.

Mix in a shaker, shake, and serve over fresh ice in whatever cocktail glass you have handy!

I modified the recipe from:

https://mybartender.com/recipe/midnights-martini/ though

Mostly I just made it equal parts. I don't think the flavor is going to be too different, the absinthe kind of steps up and commandeers the flavor, hard. Again: probably better without that XD #monsterdrink #monsterdrinks #cocktail
